how this helps you
Eager to know someone’s stories?
You want to capture a loved one's memories and insights. Here's how we can do that:
-
You'll tell me about what matters to you, and I will ask the right questions to get you that deep accounting. For example:
-
encouraging an ailing or older relative to share their reflections on a piece of family history (e.g. stories of their courtship, life, and marriage as a gay couple from the 50s to today)
-
detailing a friend’s personal accomplishments (e.g. the motivations and obstacles surrounding visiting all seven continents).
-
-
I can document it on audio, video, or as a bound book.
-
You’ll be able to preserve and share their rich life experiences, which all will appreciate.
Officiating a wedding?
You need to prepare a ceremony that you feel confident about and that matches the couple's preferences and wishes. I can:
-
Help you design the ceremony, drawing from discussions we (you, I, or both) have with the couple. We can truly personalize it.
-
Also can craft a narrative about the pair based on interviews with family and friends. Integrating that perspective into the ceremony will connect strongly with the couple and all who are present. (This piece can be part of the ceremony we build, or can fit into a ceremony someone else develops.)
-
I can practice with you to ensure that you are comfortable with your delivery. This effort will allay concerns and set you up for a successful event.
Celebrate or commemorate occasions like a retirement, birthday, bat mitzvah, in a unique way. I can:
-
Help you shape a highly customized, deeply meaningful speech by synthesizing and including stories from friends and family. This approach means that your toast at a wedding or party will resonate with the honoree(s) and guests, or that your eulogy at a memorial service will capture your loved one’s essence for the community.
-
Conduct a custom interview with the honoree’s favorite person on a special topic and turn it into a gift from you.
